I completely agree !!!
I have come to that conclusion also.

There will be few (if any) entering our craft.
And there is less competition in my region.
With less volume, I decided to to raise my prices earlier this year. It may not compensate for the loss in volume, but it helps.

It seems like my services are needed less, but when they are, they are very much needed.

My attitude as a surviving wholesaler is this: Let the Full Service Sign Shops take less of a profit in markup (if they can't get higher prices for our product)..... after all, they are the ones pushing LEDS. I see them as being part of the reason for my loss of income, I feel no pity for them. They have no concern for my livelyhood and only use my services if they have to.
